The bug doesn't happen all of the time, it is triggered by a combination of events listed in the bug report (mine was the wireless driver flipping out). However, it appears that this bug happens quite a lot on the affected machines when using the LiveCD, possibly due to a race condition on the speed that the CD boots to the desktop.<br> <br> As I said, the alternate install CD let me install 8.10, but the bug killed my productivity at the worst possible times (i.e. during a presentation) so I had to downgrade. At the moment all of us at work with this laptop are running the LTS release.<br> <br> Kenneth,<br> <br> Check that bug report then check your logs, one of the early warning signs I got with the bug was a hang at boot like yours that I could Ctrl-C past and get to Gnome.

You could try installing the latest Ubuntu<br> (with alternate install) and then specifying a different driver.<br> <br> I scroogled your laptop and didn't come across any references to it<br> causing problems. If you can, it would probably help the devs to submit<br> a bug report and/or use that hardware testing thing that comes on the<br> livecd.
